When Xiao Huaiqing was about to enter the main room, he was stopped by the guards.

Zhang Jiang said sternly, "Mr. Zhou has come here on the orders of the Emperor. My Lord, please do not force your way in. Otherwise, don't blame me for accidentally injuring you."

Seeing this, Xiao Huaiqing's eyes turned cold and he clenched his fists tightly.

He retreated and asked the palace servants, "Where is Luo Qingyu?"

He remembered that there was a place where he could climb up and look at the main house.

The servant replied, "Commander Luo asked for leave today after sending the princess back, saying he wanted to go outside the city."

Xiao Huaiqing said angrily: "You can't find someone when you need him. Go get me a ladder. Be careful."

Upon hearing this, the servant hurried to get the ladder.

In the main courtyard, Zhou Dahai and two eunuchs were talking to Lin Yue.

One of the eunuchs was tall and burly, and looked taller than Zhou Dahai, but he kept the brim of his hat down, so it was hard to tell who he was.

Lin Yue took a few more glances at first, but then saw Zhou Dahai blocking her intentionally or unintentionally, so she thought that the disciple was probably brought out to play by Zhou Dahai for personal reasons.

"The Fourth Prince didn't say anything, and he didn't care about the Ministry of Works. It was I who wanted to give the Night Pearl to my eldest brother. Please, eunuch, tell the Emperor for me."

[Actually, I didn't dare take the Fourth Prince's things, so I gave them to the Ministry of Works for free.]

[Ah... cashing out twenty thousand taels of silver, my heart aches, my flesh aches.]

Zhou Dahai came here with a mission. The person behind him was watching him all the time. He felt weak in the knees just thinking about it.

"The Emperor saw that the Fourth Prince had rashly gone to the Lin Residence and was worried that it would cause trouble for the Princess, so he sent this old servant to inquire about it. If there is nothing wrong..."

"Ah!" Zhou Dahai felt a pain in his back.

This sudden exclamation made Lin Yue startled: "What's wrong, father-in-law?"

Zhou Dahai had just been twisted, and it hurt. Now he could only put on a fake smile and said, "The Emperor also wants to ask the Princess if she has any message for His Majesty."

After all, the emperor is right behind him now, and he really doesn't know what the emperor's intentions are.

Just running over to take a look... without saying anything, what's the point? ?

Lin Yue said, "No need. I've already asked Bai Changshi to deliver the letter home."

[Xiao Jingyun might not receive the gift sent by the Emperor. Otherwise, how would Mu Lixin cut off their connection and cut off Xiao Jingyun's escape route?]

[But now there are external enemies. If we rashly attack Mu Lixin and cause a rebellion, it will lead to internal and external troubles, which is very disadvantageous.]

So I'll have to figure out a solution myself. I'll get the military supplies to Xiao Jingyun as quickly as possible. Once we've defeated the enemy, I'll deal with Mu Lixin. Or I could swap Mu Lixin and Xiao Jingyun's positions, with Mu Lixin guarding the border and Xiao Jingyun guarding Mu Lixin. That would be perfect.

Behind Zhou Dahai, Xiao Jingxian's eyes lit up and he subconsciously raised his head.

Lin Yue didn't see it.

But Xiao Huaiqing, who had just climbed up the wall, saw it clearly and was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out.

Imperial uncle!

It’s him!

Lin Yue and him...they actually met in disguise late at night! !

Xiao Huaiqing slipped and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Bai Changshi arrived and caught him. He frowned and asked, "Why is the prince trying to climb the princess's wall?"

Xiao Huaiqing trembled all over, tightly grasping Bai Changshi's arm and saying, "My Emperor..."

Bai Changshi frowned: "What?"

Xiao Huaiqing felt a surge of panic in his heart. No, he couldn't say it.

If Bai Changshi knew that Lin Yue had betrayed his father, it is possible that he would directly force Lin Yue to drink poisoned wine.

Thinking of this, Xiao Huaiqing forced himself to calm down. He didn't know why he wanted to help Lin Yue, but he didn't want Lin Yue to die, and die because of betraying his father.

"Zhou Dahai, who is with my uncle, is here. I am worried."

Bai Changshi said, "No matter how powerful Zhou Dahai is, he is still a servant. How dare he do anything to the princess?"

"You go back first, I'll go take a look."

Xiao Huaiqing didn't dare to let him go, so he held him back and said, "I saw it, and they didn't say anything. Don't go."

"I heard Qingyu went out of town. What did he do?" Xiao Huaiqing quickly changed the subject.

Only then did Bai Changshi remember that Qingyu said he wanted to find Zhang Tianshi, and that it was related to the prince's life.

Qingyu was raised by the prince and completely regards the prince as his master. He has a deep affection for him, so he must have known something to be so excited.

Bai Changshi said, "We'll know when he comes back."

Xiao Huaiqing said: "Then let's go and wait for him in the study."

Bai Changshi also wanted to say that Qingyu might not come back until dawn.

But seeing how distraught the prince looked, he had no choice but to accompany him first.

At the same time, the sentry outside made a strange sound.

Xiao Jingxian touched Zhou Dahai's clothes, indicating that he could leave.

He said that it was impossible for his mother to say bad things about Mu Lixin for no reason, and Lin Yue must have said something to hint at her.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

The Queen Mother meant that it would be enough to replace Mu Lixin. However, she overlooked that replacing Mu Lixin now would not be a mistake, but a hasty replacement would have a huge impact on the court.

He probably also understood Mu Lixin's intentions. He always wanted to be his trusted minister and would even do anything for him.

But a trusted minister and a trusted powerful minister are two different things.

He couldn't let Mu Lixin take control of him, otherwise the Wei Dynasty would be in danger.

Xiao Jingxian was very happy to get the answer he wanted. It turned out that he still needed to listen more to Lin Yue's thoughts so that self-help could be put on the agenda.

Just after leaving Prince Ding's Mansion, the secret sentry reported back that Xiao Huaiqing had just climbed the wall.

I almost fell to the ground because of the sight of him.

Xiao Jingxian's face instantly turned black.

He said to Zhou Dahai, "It is inconvenient for me to leave the palace. You should find a way to bring Princess Ding to live in the palace."
